Barack Obama

What was your perspective, and what do you say to those of, who say that nothing was done or not enough was done?

Well, not enough was done, okay? The Obama administration was divided about how important the annexation of Ukraine was.

Look, I'm gonna be brutal right now.

There was a senior person in the Obama NSC who said to me a f- days after the invasion, quote, "Dan, you know that we have no real strategic interest in Ukraine," unquote.

That's something that people in the Trump administration say now, but this was the Obama administration.

Now, there were others in that administration who were staunch in defense of Ukrainian independence, Tony Blinken-

Mm

...

Now, if you believe that he was operating for American Intelligence, you also believe he's probably still alive.

It finally came to a point where, uh, the Obama administration said, "Enough of this.

We have to have a victory." So he said, "Okay, I agree.

As long as you move me to a nice place in Malaysia somewhere, I'll be willing to pretend that I was dead, and that's the end of it." They don't, they don't accept anything in what you lay out as the unequivocal and undeniable facts becomes for them, facts that were done on behalf and at the behest of the American Intelligence community to create the enemy.

Um, so we're starting to see that.

And, and then I asked about Obama, 'cause the other day I woke up and I heard Obama, Bush.

And they said he has criminal ties with Biden.

He will be exposed and brought to justice.

And then they were showing me Michelle Obama.

[laughs] And I said, "Will it be exposed she is a trans or male?" And, uh, and I don't know what, you know, what I thought about that.

I've heard that for a while.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, also founded Archewell Productions after stepping back from royal duties.

The new Ipsos poll finds about half of U.S. adults name September 11 attacks as an open-ended question about the most historic, important historic occurrences in their lifetimes.

Yeah, that despite some of the momentous events that's happened since then, including the COVID pandemic, the elections of President Barack Obama or Donald Trump.

The polling points to the enduring legacy of September 11.

Even as many Americans today are too young to have experienced or comprehended that event a quarter century ago, Ipsos found that the vast majority of us remember where we were.

But the next president comes in and what the hell? Look at what Biden did, released all that damn money.

Look at what Obama did.

Barack Obama did, released all that damn money.

One president will freeze assets, another one releases them.

It did more harm than good when George W. Bush did it after 9-11.

And the other thing was this box, which we gave lots and lots of different titles to, and it ended up being Netanyahu's nuclear predictions.

But for quite a long time, it was Benny and the bomb.

You know, he's not an extremist.

In fact, in his cabinet, he has figures who are even more extreme.

And so it's interesting to see how he has almost stayed the same and the world has kind of shifted more towards his worldview the interesting thing as well is that it's clear diplomacy works it People will say, and I think this is a legitimate criticism, is that do you really believe that there was this little amount of enriched uranium in Iran? Did they not hide it? Were they running roughshod around all these international bodies in the U.S.? But ultimately, I mean, even a couple of days ago, Obama came out and said, look, we didn't have to fire a shot.

And we got 95% of the enriched uranium.

changed the country, that unity that we don't see today.

And I am Really proud that Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Biden, regardless of what you think about their politics, are in New York this morning, standing with those families and our firefighters and our first responders.

They just wanted to help.
